[PUP] Motor/sailing Vessels

[Ron Rogers]

In a Dashew video, they said that they spent 85% of their time under power. 
I had heard similar stories from other cruising couples traveling the Gulf 
of Maine, etc. My own experience on Chesapeake Bay and to and from Cape Cod 
convinced me that I owned a very good, very slow trawler - Pacific Seacraft 
37 cutter.

Since childhood, I had always been in love with Hand motorsailers and even 
got to see one on the Severn River. At that time I consulted Charles Neville 
and he said he had designs for a few, but they (then) had poor resale value. 
He was kind enough to send me a line drawing of a magnificent motorsailer, 
but my then wife was not interested.

Now I am happy on a Willard 40 FBS.

As Peter rightly pointed out, if you talk to sailors they spend a lot of 
time under power.  I'm also looking forward to a long distance trip under 
power.  Anyone need crew? ;-)
